No: Microwave would have killed the maggots and these would be treated by your stomach like any other animal protein. Have a healthy diet, exercise 30 minutes/day, drink plenty of water daily so your urine is mostly colorless, have safe sex, no tobacco alcohol weed or street drugs. For nutrition: http://www.choosemyplate.gov/. Get HPV and Covid vaccines. Wish you good health!

Food safety: I agree with Dr. Singh that cooked maggots would be killed & serve as a source of protein. However, how old was that chicken? If one is eating old foods that are not properly refrigerated that can be the source of other food borne infections.
